Tourist
Looking to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Disclosure and Rudimental, Tourist – aka William Phillips - is the latest talented young British producer looking to offer up a cultured palate of slick beats and glossy synths. His collaboration with Lianne La Havas – Patterns – sounds like a proper breakthrough moment and has already been tipped by the likes of Annie Mac.
Rough Fields
From one electronic production maestro to another, James Birchall – working under the moniker Rough Fields – makes sleek, beautifully composed pieces that saw his album Edge of the Firelight win praise from the BBC and a round of funding from the PRS to help him take it on tour.
Khushi
Quickly racking up airplay from both Radio 1 and 6 Music, East Londoner Khushi makes melodic, chilled-out indie pop; strikingly delicate vocals swirling in and out amidst a rich mix of sonic textures.
